Hard news was sparse across Santee, El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, and Alpine in the June 19-21 window. Saturday in Santee offered a gentler picture: the Santee Firefighters Association held its annual youth fishing derby at Lakes 3 and 4 at Santee Lakes on Fanita Parkway from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., offering free entry, free bait, pole rentals, hot dogs, and raffle prizes to children ages 3 to 17. Simultaneously, Santee Swim Day ran at the Cameron Family YMCA on Riverwalk Drive.
Sunday morning brings a Father's Day Patriotic Mural Mosaic Painting event at Santee City Hall Building 7, starting at 10 a.m., as part of the city's America 250th anniversary programming.
The headline East County event Sunday evening is the launch of La Mesa's Sundays at Six free summer concert series at the 360-seat outdoor amphitheater at Harry Griffen Regional Park on Milden Street. Tonight's program features the SD Concert Band and doubles as the Miss La Mesa 2026 Crowning ceremony, with the first note at 6 p.m. This marks the 25th anniversary season of the series, which runs through July 26 — seven weeks of free outdoor music in all.
